According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus which supplies power to a communication partner device, includes: a communication module which performs communication with the communication partner device; a power supplying module which supplies power to the communication partner device using a power supply for driving the information processing apparatus; a power supplying determination module which determines whether the power supplying module supply power or not; and a device identification module which determines whether the communication partner device has a function to be charged by the power supplying module. The power supplying determination module drives the power supplying module using the power supply when the device identification module determines that the communication partner device has a to-be-charged function, while the power supplying determination module does not drive the power supplying module when the device identification module determines that the communication partner device does not have the to-be-charged function.
